Course description and aims

This class provides the technical knowledge on design, fabrication and maintenance of structures made of steel, which are one of the most fundamental structural materials in civil engineering field . In this class, students will learn about the history of material developments, material characteristics of steels, design method considering material properties of steels, fabrication and inspection methods. In addition, the corrosion damage cases and the countermeasures against them will be explained.
This class is aiming to enhance students' fundamental technical ability to ensure the safety of infrastructures made by steels.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will:
1) Be able to explain the characteristics of steel materials.
2) Be able to explain the design methods of steel components considering the material characteristics.
3) Be able to explain the fabrication methods and inspections as well as connection methods.
4) Be able to explain the damage in steel structures and countermeasures against it, especially for corrosion damage,
